2 Streams vs. structures Grillmair & Carlin 2016

3 Streams vs. structures C. Slater

4 Streams vs. structures Eastern Banded Structure (EBS) Monoceros, Anticenter Stream (ACS) Triangulum-Andromeda (TriAnd) C. Slater

5 Structures / clouds / shells Anticenter Stream (ACS) Eastern Banded Structure (EBS) Monoceros / Giant Anticenter Stellar Stream (GASS) / Low Latitude Stream (LLS) Triangulum-Andromeda A13 Hercules-Aquila cloud Virgo over-density Eridanus-Phoenix d ~ 8 kpc d ~ 10 kpc d ~ 8 12 kpc d ~ kpc d ~ kpc d ~ kpc d ~ 6 20 kpc d ~ 16 kpc (heliocentric)

12 As an accretion event: Size + metallicity of TriAnd would imply Sgr-mass progenitor Triand 1 Triand [Fe/H] Sheffield+2014

13 Sagittarius dsph metallicity distribution (RGB stars) APOGEE survey

14 RR Lyrae from Catalina Sky Survey TriAnd

15 vgsr [km s 1 ] P>0.8 P apple 0.8 M-giants 150 (M-giants) vgsr [km s 1 ] (RR Lyrae) M-giants RR Lyrae l [deg] N Price-Whelan+2015

16 Monoceros & A13

17 RR Lyrae from Catalina Sky Survey Monoceros/GASS A13 TriAnd

18 Sheffield, Price-Whelan+2018

19 TriAnd, Monoceros, A13 have many K/M giants, few (if any) RR Lyrae: suggests a stellar population unlike any of the dwarf satellites of the Milky Way The Milky Way disk is metal rich: few RR Lyrae, many K/M giants - could these features have originated in the disk?

20 but very far from disk Johnston, Price-Whelan+2017

27 3D kinematics with Gaia

28 TriAnd stars Rotating with the disk, slightly slower than solar circular velocity σ vr = σ vz = 25 km s 1 v ϕ = 185 km s 1 σ vϕ 50 km s 1

29 Summary

30 Summary Many of the structures identified as streams, clouds, or halo overdensities are associated with or originate from the Galactic disk, but now at extreme radii/heights above disk

31 Disk Accretion Eastern Banded Structure (EBS) Anticenter Stream (ACS) Monoceros / GASS Hercules-Aquila Eri-Phoenix (?) Virgo (?) TriAnd A13

33 Summary Many of the structures identified as streams, clouds, or halo overdensities are associated with or originate from the Galactic disk, but now at extreme radii/heights above disk These stars could have been kicked out as a result of interactions with Sagittarius and the LMC

35 Summary Many of the structures identified as streams, clouds, or halo overdensities are associated with or originate from the Galactic disk, but now at extreme radii/heights above disk These stars could have been kicked out as a result of interactions with Sagittarius and the LMC These features are tracers of dark matter in the outer disk, and will constrain interaction history of the Milky Way and Sagittarius
